Hi, I'm using fasm ver 1.62 (windows version).
With the following code I allways get compile error and the error message isn't that descriptive as I would like it to be since I can't understand it in whole.
Someone PLEASE help me get this right.

Code:
;       Module: fasmide.asm
;       Project:        Flat Assembler IDE
;       Version:        0.0.1
;       Author: Krister Alm                     kra             Krister.Alm@Home.se
;       
;       This is to be a fullblown IDe for working with fasm development. When done
;       there should be a working solution that runs on both Windows and Linux.

The AddAPI macro you've used is a wrapper to "invoke" macro, which is used to call API functions (imported from DLLs) indirectly (through double word pointers in memory) - the error you get means that the label you try to invoke has a bad type - it should be the label of double word pointer, while it's the procedure label. Make another version of this macro which will use the "stdcall" instead of "invoke", something like:
Code:
macro AddProc param { match (name),param \{ macro name [params] \\{ \\common match (args),params \\\{ stdcall name,args \\\} \\} \} }
